We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.

Artist Interview

My favorite is always the darker tunes, they have my heart for sure!

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hello! I’m Trix aka Miss Trixsta. Firstly I want to say thank you for having me again. It’s been a while! I’m a Drum & Bass DJ from the Southwest, mixing all sub genres in my mixes. My general style of mixing is incorporating old and new tracks when I play out at clubs and festivals. My favorite is always the darker tunes, they have my heart for sure! I also love mixing Breakbeat, Dark Techno and Deep House… I love it all to be honest.

...I’m super happy to have been able to put a whole set together of all the darker vibes...

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

Highlights of the year include playing for some amazing local festivals like Wetback, TNT, Orbital Gathering. The local festivals really are my favorite gigs to play, I just love the vibe and taking my camper van along to make a day and night of it. I love staying for everyone’s sets and catching up with everyone. 


I also started my own Drum & Bass events in 2022 with my brand, Raw Rotation. We’ve put nights on in Newquay and Bodmin and hope to do some more further afield soon.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

A few younger artists have messaged me this year asking for advice. I always say, take your time to perfect your mixing skills and don’t rush it. Go and support the local events and bring mixes along to give to promoters. I personally love getting handed a mix or being asked to listen to material. And most importantly, just enjoy the music. I’m 20 years deep into my DnB now, and it really is a way of life for me. I love seeing people dancing to my sets, whatever the size of the crowd. That would be my biggest piece of advice to inspire future artists, just have fun with it and don’t get too caught up in social media or trying to compare yourselves to others… We are all unique in our own ways!

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

I went down the dark and techy route on this mix. Like I mentioned above, I play all sub genres of Drum & Bass, but I don’t usually get a chance to play this vibe in clubs and festivals because it doesn’t often fit the occasion. So I’m super happy to have been able to put a whole set together of all the darker vibes, which I absolutely love in this mix. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.


Lastly, I just want to say a huge shout out to artists and promoters putting in the graft at the moment when times haven’t been easy. I see ya! So shout outs to Dollface, Leroy & Cozzie, Devinyl, Sick & Naughty, Tr1bal events, Bare Jungle, Code Red Legacy events, Wetback crew, FrENDzy, Orbital Gathering, Tuskan HiFi, TNT events, Inner Circle, Lost in the Dark, Say Nuffin, Sublow, Dj Proof, Full:Tone and everyone else in the Southwest scene right now!
